The issue happens because views are reusable (that is by design in Android API). So eventually you may assign more than 1 text watcher to the same text view. And all of the assigned watchers are fired when text inside of the text view is changed.

A quick fix (and non-optimal if the list is really long, say, of 1000+ items) would be to have a map of Traweller -> TextWatcher.

Then inside of getView() you can do this (pseudo-code):

• check the map if there is a TextWatcher for this Traweller
• if map does not have any, then create a new TextWatcher, put in the map and assign to EditText
• otherwise detach the TextWatcher from the EditText and remove from the map
• create a new TextWatcher, put in the map and assign to EditText
